First Issues Collectors Club, or FICC, is an international society for collectors of the first postage stamps issued by any legitimate postal administration.
FICC is American Philatelic Society affiliate #232 [1] Archived 2007-11-07 at the Wayback Machine and is a non-profit educational organization.
FICC was founded in 1990 by a small group of collectors, who elected David Olson of New Hampshire its first president.
While most stamp collectors can not afford such first issues as those of Mauritius (see the Mauritius "Post Office" stamps) or Hawaii (see Hawaiian Missionaries), FICC is devoted to the study of all the more than 700 stamps initially issued by legitimate postal authorities.
FICC promotes the study, collection and enjoyment of all of them.
